The two oldest girls' days start @ 5:30, when they accompany Daddy to the barn for morning milking, feeding, haying, watering, etc... <br /><br />All that said, Mark & I had a conversation just last night about how much happier we all are when we work hard, spend a little time together, and are not idle. <br /><br />Good luck with your homestead! I hope you do get bees!Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339675152621385161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689362661450736563.post-54120924606050416862010-03-31T20:51:51.289-05:002010-03-31T20:51:51.289-05:00My family is getting chickens next month- and bunn...My family is getting chickens next month- and bunnies next year.<br /><br />My mom will be posting about the building of the chicken coop on her blog within a few weeks if you are interested.<br /><br />http://unlessthelord.blogspot.com/ is her blog address.Autumnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11688102403902041219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689362661450736563.post-6977603292285157762010-03-31T15:30:06.008-05:002010-03-31T15:30:06.008-05:00You are so right about working together bringing f...You are so right about working together bringing families closer. At one time we had chickens, turkeys, guineas, milk goats, rabbits, and a donkey. My children still think about those times as the "good ole days." Amanda wants us to get some more goats and chickens for her girls when they get older. Right now we only have turkeys, dogs, and horses.Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580045311547264944noreply@blogger.com
